Because it was requested. Too easy, kinda time consuming method. There are others. Post any tweaks, especially faster methods. And of course everyone loves pics, which I never take.
Air Soft BB (ASBB) dry method. Some people say humidity ruins this method, I have not experienced any trouble.
Supplies:
Unlubed bullets, non food use oven, number five plastic container with lid, air soft BBs everyone says black found mine at Dick's, powder coat this is important RED from harbor freight or get some quality stuff Smoke on cast boolits or Randy Rat sell proven products, parchment paper or non stick foil.
Process:
Put two or three layers of BBs in your clean and dry # 5 container, if it is your typical Bojangles side sized put a tablespoon or so PC in, drop in 40/50 9mm size bullets don't handle them with your greasy hands, less bigger more smaller, put the lid on, swirl for 20/30 seconds, then give two or three good up and down shakes, remove lid, should have velvety bullets, remove with forceps or exam gloves tap on side of container to remove excess, stand on parchment or non stick foil on a tray then load in oven for a bake at 400ish for 20 or so.
Finished products should stand up to smashing with a hammer or vice and coating not flake. I find it adds .002 to as cast diameter and typically size them smaller than my traditional cast. I vastly prefer a push thru sizer for that.
